Dubai : Dubai becomes the first city in the world to have a government with fully paperless transactions on the path to sustainable development. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, described the achievement on Twitter over a period of four years. During this period, 45 government departments completely eliminated the use of paper and switched to digital services. Provided 1,800 digital services that facilitate 10,500 transactions.
This is made possible by the idea of making the best services available in digital technology in an easy and flawless manner. This eliminates the need for 336 million pieces of paper. This is to raise 1.3 billion dirhams and 14 million man-hours of work time. Sheikh Hamdan said on Twitter that the move would make Dubai the digital capital of the world.
Four years ago, the UAE Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, was of the opinion that paper should not be used in any government transactions after 2021. Sheikh Hamdan said that today the idea has been fully realized. Services are easily accessible through the ‘Dubai Now’ app.
